As the war on plastic waste intensifies, so there is an increasing need to re-assess our attitudes towards recycling and our environment. In an effort to create a visual statement of our response to the problem of plastic waste, we attempted to re-purpose the ubiquitous plastic mineral water bottles into unconventional yet practical light sculptures. The crafting processes employed emphasize on maintaining the inherent quality of the material and on sustaining a low embodied energy. By applying only the most basic methods of manual crafting skills using common stationery and craft tools, we aspire to generate worth and ethereal charm out of the mundane plastic bottles.

About this Blog

This blog was originally started with the intention to feature our 'green' initiative in creating awesome and fascinating lighting sculptures using all parts of the plastic mineral water bottles. We hope to inspire people from all walks of life to view and re-think about using plastics in a different manner instead of just treating it as waste.Selected artists of interest will also be featured on this blog to provide a wider range of artistic ideas from different fields.
